Abstract
The paper looks at the physical, mental and social factors that make the elderly a vulnerable segment of society. The paper also discusses various issues affecting this age group such as discrimination and specific nursing needs and then describes certain measures that can be taken to assist the elderly. The paper concludes that the quality of life of senior citizens will depend on unique legislation to protect their needs, employment without fear of retribution and discrimination, as well as health care systems that can meet their needs.

From the Paper
"According to Carstensen, "Longetivity is the largely unexpected consequences of improvements in general living conditions. Genetically speaking, we are no smarter or heartier than our relatives were 10,000 years ago" (2007, p. 42). Nonetheless, more and more elderly and senior citizens in our society choose to remain active vital members of the community. Unfortunately, older Americans are still viewed as incompetent and frail, due solely to their age, which can lead to age discrimination. This discrimination is not only unjust, but can lead to physical and mental health problems for senior citizens as well. The cross-national Ageism Survey found that "84 percent of Americans more than 60 years old report one or more incidents of ageism, including insulting jokes, disrespect, patronizing behavior and assumptions pertaining to frailty or ailments (citing e.g., Palmore 2004; see also Kassau 1977; Kimmel 1988; Byron, Mong, & Roscigno, 2007). Furthermore, older workers have self-reported that they have faced age discrimination in 12,271 cases, with "2,181 verified cases wherein probable cause determinations were reached or favorable settlements for the charging party were brokered by a neutral party."

Abstract
This book discusses the similarities and differences in Books II through VII of Plato's "Republic" regarding the best combination of civic traits desirable for citizens and philosophers in the city. For example, in his description of the most admirable traits of a warrior-guardian, Socrates declared that those who on each occasion would do what is best for the city would be the best guardians. He also declared that they would also be the best citizens because good citizens devote themselves to the good of the city as a whole.

Abstract
The paper compares Citizens Banking Corporation to its industry group, Regional Midwest Banks. This comparison focuses on determining the success of Citizen in carrying out its financial strategies. Finally,the writer discusses the Citizens strategies for the future and argues whether or not they are appropriate within the market to ensure growth and productivity.

From the Paper
"The key strategy on which Citizens seems to be concentrating, however, is expansion of its banking activities through a highly focused sales effort, product expansion, and a company-wide philosophy of "Client First" (SEC, 1999). The sales effort ties into the client first philosophy in that it is geared toward building relationships. Cross selling of everything from traditional banking services to newer, non-traditional financial services is the key to the success of this retail sales effort. The expanded product line includes investment advising, brokerage services, lease financing, life insurance, title insurance and mortgage origination. Finally, Citizens made a substantial investment in new technology giving customers access to full internet banking services. (Citizens Bank, 2000)."

Abstract
The paper closely examines the case law of the courts to determine whether non-citizens have been excluded from enjoying the benefits of constitutional protection. The paper also looks at the consistency of the courts with regard to constitutional interpretation, as well as general Irish policy in a European context. The paper concludes that while non-citizens can invoke the family rights provided for in the Constitution, case law proves the courts' reluctance to actually grant these rights. The paper clearly shows how the Irish Constitution has double standards.

From the Paper
"It should be noted at the outset that there are two separate issues in terms of the relationship between non-citizens and the Constitution. The first relates to the right of a non-citizen to invoke a Constitutional provision in order to challenge the validity of legislation, and the second, which is more central to the analysis at hand, is the entitlement of a non-citizen to enjoy certain constitutional rights. The courts seem to have drawn a general distinction between areas where non-citizens do and do not have locus standi to challenge the constitutionality of a law. Judgments from several cases have indicated that non-citizens have standing to attack the Constitutionality of a law only where they are directly affected by legislation, in contrast to Articles such as those governing elections which may only be relied upon by citizens. This was alluded to by O'Higgins CJ in Re Article 26 and the Electoral (Amendment) Bill 1983 when he made the distinction between Articles covering rights to vote in elections and Articles dealing with personal rights. This was later reaffirmed by Re Article 26 and the Illegal Immigrants (Trafficking) Bill 1999 in which the Court 'recognised that non-citizens might not always enjoy the same fundamental rights as citizens [but that], broadly speaking, non-citizens have the same constitutional rights of access to the courts and to fair procedures.'"

From the Paper
"The following paper is a memorandum to District Justice William K. Sessions of Burlington, Vermont. The legal brief will outline the legal issues raised in the case of The Citizens of Newport, Vermont v. The State of Quebec, Pierre Cardin, President of Quebec, The Saint Francais River Dam. The paper (or memo) will explore the facts surrounding the suit brought against the State of Quebec, President Pierre Cardin and the Saint Francais River Dam. In so doing, the paper will argue that customary international law creates a de facto culpability that the Saint Francais River Dam simply cannot evade; at the same time, this international legal precedent joins with a 1992 American federal statute to create a compelling legal argument supporting the redress of the plaintiff's grievances by the defendants even though the Quebec government and the President were not parties..."

Abstract
The paper begins with a list of all the things the writer claims to know about military abuse of citizens, followed by a list of the things the writer wants to learn about the topics. This is followed by information which is intended to be a summary of recent military abuses of human rights rather than a reflection of historical importance. This research covers fifteen countries including Afghanistan, Burma, Cambodia, Chile, China, Cuba, Egypt, Guatemala, Indonesia, Iraq, Israel, Nepal, Russian Federation, Rwanda and the United States.

From the Paper
"Herat's civilians, under the command of local governor, Ismail Khan, have been subjected to arbitrary and politically motivated arrests, intimidation, extortion, and torture. These civilians have also been denied their rights to free expression and association. The more serious cases of torture have involved hanging detainees upside down, whippings, and electric shocks. Members of the Pashtun minority have been the largest targets of abuse."

From the Paper
"Recent advances in the field of medicine make it possible to live longer than ever before. While a longer life provides the opportunity for seniors to do things that they put on hold while raising families and working, it can also create a feeling of isolation and loneliness. Depression has been reported to be a common problem among the elderly as well as not eating correctly and other issues that occur when a person removes himself from society. The center for national statistics on suicide reports that the age bracket with the highest suicide rate is the group of 85 plus years old(Suicide http://www.tspn.org/facts.htm). To combat these and other problems associated with aging it is important for an elderly person to remain active. Whether it is through club membership, senior center activities or volunteering their time, the elderly should continue an active lifestyle as long as they are physically and mentally able to do so.

Abstract
This paper discusses the ways in which Books II-VII of "Plato's Republic" confirm and contradict Socrates' identification of the good citizen with the philosopher. The problem of this identification is that the books progressively elucidate that the guardians are over and above the city by virtue of the appropriate natures they are born with, their training as warriors-philosophers, how and where they live, and their unique customs. They are not `of' the polis as are the citizens over whom they are to police and rule. In so far as they are the guardians, by definition they are the good citizens.
